More Than Singing Lessons...
Are you a singer, singer-songwriter or sound artist who wants to go deeper?​
​
You know you have so much more to offer but somehow can't express it.
​
Perhaps your voice feels stuck - physically, metaphorically or both.
​
You know what you want to tell the world, but can't find a way to express it that feels like you.
​
Perhaps you even feel silly, naiive or ashamed of having ambitions beyond anyone in your circle.

Who It's For
" She's more than just my voice coach..." - Livia - Professional Singer and Pianist
I'm Carrie Griffiths. I created Secret Vocal Academy for singers and songwriters with more inside them than they know what to do with.
​
With more than twenty-five years in music and more than forty (i know!) years on stage, I know there's so much more to singing than simply making pretty sounds.
​
That's why my work goes deeper than vocal technique. We can develop your voice and artistry, strengthen your creative identity, and build, scale or redesign a singing career that reflects who you truly are - without apology.
Voice Coaching For The Whole Artist
" One of the most important voice coaches in London."
- Greg Enriquez, International Voice Conasultant (Paul McCartney, Courtney Love, Britney Spears
From Blues and Gospel to Punk and everything in between - including vocal distortion - I've developed a simple three-step process that gets to the heart of what may be holding your voice, artistry or career back.
​
The aim is not to turn you into somebody else. It' to help you access more of what is already there, so you can express yourself more freely and confidently, on and off stage.
​
And getting started doesn't have to take over your life. Some of the foundational work can begin with as little as ten minutes a day. Even you've got time for that. 😉
Start With a Consultation
Everyone starts with a Consultation. Yes - everyone.
Every singer I work with has a genius inside them, screaming to get out. If you're ready to meet yours, book your Consultation.
Please note: this level of voice coaching and mentoring is not suitable for hobbyists or casual singers. Choir soloists are welcome to apply.
Who Am I?
I've been singing professionally since 1999 and coaching singers since 2003.
My own career has taken me around the world, performing in more than 30 countries, at major venues and festivals and in front of audiences of up to 30,000.
​
I've recorded three international Top Ten albums, including a Number One.
Alongside my performing career, I've spent more than two decades training singers and developing artists.
​
My clients include signed international artists, chart acts, professional singers, emerging artists and performers preparing for major auditions, tours, recordings and career transitions.
I also spent ten years teaching both Music and Business in Further and Higher Education and hold a BMus in Popular Music Performance, a PGCE and an LTCL Music Teaching Diploma.​
​
Over the years, my work has moved beyond asking:
“What exercise will fix this?”
I'm far more interested in:
“Why is this singer experiencing this problem in the first place?”
That question has changed everything about the way I work and creates accelerated results that last entire careers - and beyond.
Some of my clients are working at high levels of the music industry. Their sessions are entirely private - I will never share their name, discuss our work together, or confirm that we have a professional relationship outside of performing, without express permission.
If you require an NDA, that can also be arranged.​
​
Discretion is standard.
"The best decision I ever made was working with Carrie. I wish I'd done it sooner." - Francis, Returning Singer
